next time your local school district proposes a levy, and you think about how bad the economy is and wonder where you’re going to get that extra ten bucks a month to pay the tax difference…

1. stayed up late last night getting the house ready for a little cookout this afternoon, so i’m a little tired.
2. got freaked out when my alarm clock went off, because it was so bright outside that i knew i must’ve slept in late. i hadn’t. it was all good.
3. frozen burgers look gross until you cook them. (partially random thought, related to point number one of this post.)
4. today is going to be a great day. expecting God to move in a powerful way.
5. i was tempted to swing by saint arbucks this morn on my way in, but decided to wait for the “gathering place” to brew some up here at the church. got another hour or so to wait…

just a few quick hits this morning.
1. i pretty much don’t blog anymore. maybe that’s cause i twitter too much. all the random thoughts that i used to have to store in my memory bank until i had time to throw them up on my blog are now instantly posted for all 150 individuals who follow my tweets. (fyi 150 is relatively low in the twitter realm. ashton kucher has over a million peeps following him…)
2. the weather maps have been promising rain here in marion for the last couple of days, and now it’s finally doing it. it’s about time yo.
3. had every intention of going running this morning, but the song that came on my alarm clock radio was so good i had to hit snooze to see if the next one would be good too. turns out it was…i played this game for about 36 minutes or so… incidentally i have no recollection of what the songs were.
4. i have a meeting this afternoon in my office. well it’s pretty messy right now. perhaps i should clean it up. and get some chairs in here. just a thought.
5. took a leadership class last week at mvnu. (one-week cram intensive course, 3.5 hours a day, for 5 days) i got my grades in the mail yesterday: 400 points out of 400. if only i would have harnessed my awesomeness in high school and college. what a slacker.
6. i made coffee this morning for the first time in a few weeks (been out of town or busy or lazy or whatever). so i opened the lid to put a new filter in and found that i had never emptied the previous one. it was a science fair project in there waiting to be photoed, graphed, hypothesized, and set in front of a tri-fold poster board. hairy and fuzzy and greenish-white. to bad i didn’t take a twitpic of that! don’t worry, i washed it before i made a new pot.
7. i’m sure there’s an x-men origins plot in there somewhere if i hadn’t washed it…maybe i would have grown a third armpit that could melt paper.
8. now i’m just being stupid. this is nice.
9. have a good day, and you stay classy san diego.

this morning in the locker room, i was standing there watching sports center after my shower. i was the only one in the tv room/area, and i was enjoying a little bit of sports info presentation. all the sudden, this old nude dude walks in front of me, reaches up, and changes the channel to some finance report.
well the dude was older than me, so my gut reaction of, “dude, would you like to watch something else? sure no problem, since you asked so politely if i didn’t mind a channel change in the middle of chris burman’s sentence…” got overruled by respectful silence. plus, the guy was naked. i didn’t really feel like engaging him in full-frontal conversation.
so i walk away to go get ready for work, and no sooner am i gone that i see him walk into the other room as well for a shave! he comes in, changes the channel from what i was obviously watching, and then doesn’t even care enough to stay in the room. so i grabbed all my stuff, brought it into the tv room, changed the tv back to sports center, and finished getting ready right there. booyah.
when he walked back through the room again, i got a kick out of the grunt of frustration that i heard him let out. it was fantastic.
the gauntlet has been thrown, baby.
